Does anyone know if there is a relatively simple way to redirect the
output from the paralell port, and save it to a disk file?

[I shot the line eater] I believe what you are looking for is right under your nose, so to speak. :-) Try 'CMD'. It's on your WorkBench disk under the Utilities drawer. This will redirect the printed output from a program into a specified file. Look at the 'info' on the 'CMD' icon to find the file that it's being redirected to. I believe the default is in the ram disk... ==Brett

It's called CMD and is found on your system disks (Extras or Workbench). It's also explained in the manual (if you have system > 1.2). -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions...

Use the "cmd" program thats in the utilities drawer. It has several options that let you output from prt: par: ser: (doesn't work with con:) to a single or multiple files. The program can be used from workbench also by changing the tooltypes. (See the AmigaDos 1.3 manual).

It will redirect your parallel output to a disk file or another device. It is described in the CBM 1.3 Enhancer book. voice: (708)691-4747 Internet:dhansen@amiganet.chi.il.us
